Depression Counselling in Peacehaven

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Peacehaven the coast road runs west through Saltdean and Brighton to the Hove office in around twenty to twenty-five minutes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Peacehaven or blend the two.

Not at all. The whole of this work can be done by secure video from your own front room, and for many people in Peacehaven that is the sensible default. Travelling to Hove stays available whenever you want it, but it is never a condition of being seen.

You pay £80 for a 60-minute session. Ninety minutes is £100 and two hours is £120 if a longer appointment would help. The first 15-minute consultation is free and carries no expectation that you book anything afterwards. Payment is session by session.

You can, without seeing a GP first. Health in Mind covers East Sussex and offers guided self-help, courses and short therapy. There is often a wait, and the number of sessions is capped, so people sometimes use it alongside private work rather than instead of it.

It is certainly workable. Seasonal patterns are predictable, which is an advantage: you can plan for them. Sessions look at light, routine, movement and contact through the darker months, and at what has helped in previous winters, so the drop is smaller and shorter next time round.

Often three to six months of weekly hours, then less often as things steady. Some people want a handful of sessions to get moving again. It is reviewed openly as you go, and you are free to stop whenever you judge you have got what you came for.

Yes. Many Peacehaven clients choose secure video sessions, which spare the coast-road trip and bring the same steady support home. When you would rather come in, my Hove room is around twenty-five minutes west. We can also blend the two however suits you.

When motivation is low, I keep it simple: a free fifteen-minute call, then a first session. The coast road west through Saltdean and Brighton to Hove takes twenty to twenty-five minutes, or the 12 and 14 buses with a change. If leaving home feels hard, we can begin online.

Sessions are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two, after a free consultation. Free NHS Talking Therapies for East Sussex takes self-referrals without a GP, though waits can stall progress; starting privately means help with low mood begins now.

Either works for depression. Out on the clifftops, online from home spares the journey on flat days, while the trip into Hove can lift things on others. We can alternate, and evening and weekend appointments suit when energy is unpredictable.
